Five years ago, I wrote a book called Say Goodbye toSurvival Mode. The book chronicled my journey of hitting rock bottom and the steps I took to climb out of the pit of survival mode and start thriving again.

This book landed on the New York Times List, it sold thousands and thousands of copies, and it impacted many women’s lives in a profound way. I’m so humbled and grateful and, honestly, blown away.

But here’s the thing you need to know …

In 2015 (about a year and a half after my book, Say Goodbye toSurvival Mode, was published), I found myself completely exhausted, spent, and burnt out … again.

Only this time, the burn out had crept in so slowly that I didn’t even realize it. I was the proverbial frog in the boiling water. The heat had been turned up so slowly that I hadn’t even noticed — until I was almost dead.

Okay, the word dead might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s truly how my soul felt.

My inspiration was completely dried up. My motivation was zapped. And my zest for life had grown legs and walked out and left.

The Question that Changed My Life

Then one day in the middle of 2015, a friend invited me to go out for coffee. Over coffee, my friend asked me a question that changed my life.

“What are you excited about right now?”

I sat there and realized I had no response. Because, the truth was, I wasn’t excited about anything.

For real.

I was completely overwhelmed, overworked, and over-committed.

And I didn’t think there was a way out. This was just my life. This was just how it had to be.

Or was it?

My 18-Month Journey of Transformation

That question sent me on an 18-month journey of deep soul-digging and life transformation.

It wasn’t easy. In fact, it required me to make a long series of difficult decisions. It meant shifting my mindset. It was only the result of many, many tears and much struggle.

Since that pivotal day in 2015 when I had coffee with my friend, I’ve made massive changes in my life. Changes that have affected every area of my life — my emotional health, my energy levels, my overall outlook on life, and even my physical appearance!

These changes didn’t start with overhauling my whole life. I was too exhausted and spent and BUSY to even have time to consider doing something like that.

It started with tiny steps that turned into bigger shifts that ended up with me being here — over two years later — in an entirely different space and place.

Imagine a life where you…

Wake up excited about each day and go to bed fulfilled each night.

Feel alive and happy and content.

Have time to investin your marriage, your kids, and your community.

Have enough breathing room to exercise regularly and make healthy food choices.

Have the space to volunteer and be involved in causes you believe in.

Have the energy to run a business and devote time to projects you are passionate about.

Have extra time in your week to read, pursue hobbies, do fun things, be spontaneous, hang out with friends, and even taking a nap some days!

I never could have envisioned that this would be possible. But this is my life now — and it’s amazing!

“But I Don’t Have Time to Take a Course!”

You might be feeling so overwhelmed with life that the thought of adding one more thing — even a course to help you feel less overwhelmed! — feels like TOO much. If that’s the case, I have good news for you! I wrote this course specifically for weary women who don’t have any extra time:

Each of the video lessons are around 15 minutes long — you can watch them while you’re making dinner or even pull them up and listen to them like a podcast on your phone while you’re driving!

You don’t have to read any of the lessons in the handbook/on the course site — if you don’t want to! I wanted to provide the lessons in both written and video format so that you can choose to read the lessons if you’re more of a visual learner. But most of the lessons are nearly word-for-word what I share in the videos!

I walk you through the reflection questions at the end of each lesson — so that you don’t have to sit down and go through them, if you don’t have time.

There is very little course “homework” — and most of it is reflective questions that you can mull over while you’re cleaning or washing dishes or waiting in the car pickup line.

You can go at your own pace — because you have lifetime access!
